Summerfield Homes Hands Over Three New Affordable Properties To Somerset Council

SOUTH WEST housebuilder, Summerfield Homes, is pleased to hand over three new affordable homes to Somerset Council for local people in the County.

Summerfield Homes handed over two, two-bedroom detached coach houses and one two-bedroom end-of-terrace house at Carrots Farm to the award-winning Homes In Sedgemoor who manage more than 4,000 properties for the Council.

The homes, which are occupied for rent at less than 80% of the market value, come with solar PV panels, car charging points and two parking spaces each. The two detached coach houses have achieved an Energy Performance Certificate rating of A and the end terrace house a rating of B.

Situated on the edge of North Petherton, Carrots Farm comprises just 20 new homes and has the advantage of local amenities close by. The development is within easy access of the towns of Bridgwater and Taunton and junction 24 of the M5 motorway.

Summerfield Homes is proud to continue handing over quality affordable homes to reputable housing providers and contributing towards alleviating the growing housing need within our communities.

Housing Development Team Leader at Homes in Sedgemoor, Nick Draper, said: “The Council’s investment represents excellent value for money and the end results speaks for themselves. We have been very pleased with Summerfield’s approach to joint working and the quality of the homes they have built for us.”

Ed Khodabandehloo, Managing Director at Summerfield Homes, said: “It’s been great working in partnership with Somerset Council in delivering much needed, energy efficient, affordable homes. North Petherton is a thriving community and a very convenient location for the M5 access as well as Bridgwater and Taunton. We hope their tenants really enjoy living there.”
